Mickey Walker vs. Emile Griffith

I think Walker would eat his cornflakes out of Griffiths skull at either weight though he would do better at middleweight.

 

Griffith would outbox him cleanly at WW IMO, at MW it gets tougher to call.

 

Griffith takes a decision at Welter ,but Mickey out works him at 160lbs .

 

I agree.

 

Also agree, though even at WW its close.

 

I think it plays out similar to the Griffith/Tiger fights stylistically. Walker would press the fight more though IMO.

 

Grifith would always have a fair chance in these weight classes. Moreso at welter in my opinion.

 

Griffith was a great talent on the inside, very underrated in that respect. And is everyone forgetting how strong he was?

Maybe they are remembering not forgetting.That Walker held his own with rated Heavies and Light Heavies,and could hit.Griffith was very strong ,a class fighter but he did not have big guns,and sometimes took rounds off, he could not do that with the Toy Bulldog.

Griffith was also considerably more skilled than many of the fighters Walker fought.
